Ennis Vs Stanionis Welterweight Unification Eye For April.
Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis and Imantas Stanionis are fighting for April’s dual-belt, IBF and WBO, welterweight unification bout.
Ennis-Stanius in April?
If IBF champion Boots Ennis (33-0, 29 KOs) is made, he will face the first high-quality opponent of his career, and it will be interesting for fans to see how he responds to the power and pressure from WBA 147. -lb champion Stanionis (15-0, 9 KOs).
If the fight is made, it will be shown on DAZN on Matchroom. Stanionis is not well known so it is doubtful that he will be placed on PPV. Boots has yet to reach that stage due to poor opposition in his nine-year professional career.
Ennis, 27, received a lot of criticism for his decision not to take on WBC interim middleweight champion Virgil Ortiz Jr. on Turki Al Sheik’s February 22 card on DAZN PPV in Riyadh. Boots is said to have been handed a career-high payday. 8 million dollars It’s crazy to say no to him.
But before moving up, he wants to unify the welterweight division to collect all four belts and has vowed to finish what he started, come hell or high water. You hope Jaron doesn’t live to regret it later.
Can Boots withstand Stanyonis?
“Will we finally get the unification fight he’s been waiting for at welterweight?” Bernardo Osuna b Box conditiontalking about Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis wanting a unification fight with WBA champion Imantas Stanionis or one of the other champions.
“They’re definitely getting close, and it’s a tough challenge for Boots. “He’s looking at the fight against Imantas Stanionis, who I think is one of the most underrated fighters in all of boxing,” said Mike Coppinger. After several fights with Virgil Ortiz were cancelled, He lost all of 2023, and I was told they were close to a deal in April. No deal yet.
“It’s a big step for Boots, he hasn’t been able to fight anyone hard yet. Stanionis brings the pressure; He can hit, and I hope the fight goes. That will be a macaroon show on DAZN,” Coppinger said.
It’s a big step for Ennis, who has fought in the last nine years, and he is not sure if he will win this fight. Stanyonnis is a good fighter with power, and Boots hits a lot in the fight. He depends on his offense and his defense, and these types of fighters do not have good results for a long time.
Eventually, they collide with someone with too much power, and they fall. What’s amazing is how Ennis was getting lit by Karen Chukadchian in his last fight on November 9th, and he’s not known for throwing big punches.
Finally climbing up
“It’s time for Boots to get in the ring with someone,” Tim Bradley said. “I can tell you that. He had many opportunities to get in the ring with many men, including Virgil Ortiz, but chose not to. This was obviously his plan from the beginning. He wants to unify his title with Stanionis.
Bradley is right. It’s almost time for Ennis to finally fight someone because he looks confident after turning down a fight against Virgil Jr. on February 22nd.
“I finished studying film four days ago. It’s going to be an interesting fight,” Bradley said. “Stanios is a forward fighter, very aggressive. He throws punches. He can hit hard with either hand, but so can Boots. The difference is Stanyonis, I don’t think he understands trigonometry.
“He doesn’t understand angles. “He doesn’t understand how he can get anywhere else because all he knows is gas, not brakes,” Bradley said of Stanyonnis’ shortcomings.
